Author Amory Stops Aiding
Duchess Write Memoirs
NEW YORK UK Author Cleve
land Amory said Tuesday he has
stopped helping the Duchess of
Windsor write her memoirs, and
cxpiainea:
"You can't make the Duchess of.
Windsor into Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm. The facts of life are
very stubborn things."
The reference, to a happy heroine
of a juvenile fiction classic, was
made during an interview aboard
the liner Queen Mary on which
Amory returned from Europe.
Amory said the rupture between
him and the wife of England's
ex-King followed repeated quarrels
over the manuscript.
The duchess, he declared, wanted
some revisions and "I didn't feel
the changes squared with the
facts."
Amory didn't explain what the
changes were.
He turned down a writing bid
from her in 1952, but last winter
took the assignment when she
telephoned him from Palm Beach,
Fla., he said.
Since then, they have been
collaborating in Paris, Amory -continued,
but "because of the
pressure o writing something
myself, and getting by the duke
Test Of Power
Of Investigators
Begins In Court
WASHINGTON Wl Harvey
O'Connor was called to trial in
Federal Ditrict Court here Tues
day on a contempt of Congress
charge in a test of the power of
congressional investigators.
O'Connor, an author residing in
Little Compton, R.I., was question
ed by the Senate Investigations
subcommittee July 14, 1953, when,
under the chairmanship of Sen.
McCarthy (R-Wis.) it was investi
gating the State Department's ov
erseas libraries program.
He refused to say whether he
was a Communist ,when his books
were purchased by the State De
partment, but in doing so he did
not invoke the Fifth Amendment's
protection against possiole self-incrimination.
Instead he took the Ftand that
"under the First Amendment to
the Constitution, my writings, my
books and my political opinions
are of no legitimate concern to j
this committee.
and duchess I became increasingly
unhappy."
More friction developed during
preparation of 300 pages of text,
he said, because the former Wallis
Warfield Simpson wanted it done
in the first person.
"The real story of the Duchess
of Windsor can't be told in the T
form," the writer added.
The duchess told him she had
four reasons for preparing her
memoirs: To prove "she was born
on the right side of the tracks;"
that she and the duke are "happy
and busy people;" that the British
royal family and British people
treated them "very meanly" in not
eivinP hpr thp titlo nf "hop rmjal
highness;" and to show the duke
was not pro-German.
There finally, Amory added, was
disagreement over the title. The
Baltimore-born duchess wanted to
call it "Wishful Thinking." The
duke objected to Amory's sugges
tion it be called "Untitled."
He said he did not think it would
tend to incriminate him to an- J
swer the question of whether he
had been a Communist, but he
told McCarthy, in effect, that his
"political affiliations" were none
of the subcommittee's business.
Bridging Sound
Not Financially
Feasible, Report
OLYMPIA in A group of
investment oanKers reported Tues
day that the proposed bridging of
Puget Sound is not financially
feasible at this time.
But. they added, the normal
growth of Western Washington and
the Puget Sound area will make
the project possible "in the
toreseeauie luiure.
The bankers' report, submitted
to the Washington State Toll Bridge
Authority at a special meeting,
uguieu ine project uiree ways, as
a $147,637,000 bond issue for
construction of a series of cross
Sound bridges, a bridge across
Hood Canal, and the refunding of
10 million dollars in outstanding
state lerry system Bonds; a 5124,
175,000 bond issue to finance the
cross-Sound bridges and refund the
ferry system, and a S23,470,0OO
bond issue to finance construction
of the Hood Canal bridge between
South Point and Lofall.
"The present bond market, in
our opinion, is not in condition to
absorb a major piece of financing
of this type except at some verv
high rate of interest," the report
said.
It was signed by Blyth & CO.,
Inc., Lehman Brothers, and A. C.
Allyn & Co., Inc., who acted as
fiscal advisors to the TBA on the
project.

two west end rooming houses killed
at least four persons here shortly

men more than an hour to bring
the fire under control.
Many of the rooming house oc

Reporter Jailed For
Withholding Newt Source
SANTA ROSA, Calif. I Jack
Howard, San Francisco Chronicle
labor news reporter, was jailed
briefly Monday for his refusal to
obey a judge's order to answer
questions regarding sources of in
formation for stories he had
written.
The questions were asked during
an injunction suit hearing in a la
bor dispute.
Shortly after Howard was jailed,
the 3rd District Appellate Court in
Sacramento granted his attorney's
petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus and ordered his release on S10,
000 bail. Hearing on the writ was
set for Oct. 21.
While he was in custody, How
ard wrote his own version of the
case under the dateline "Sonoma

Columbia River Diversion Results Told At Session
i
OTTAWA Wi A Canadian pro
posal to divert the Columbia Riv
er would result in "very serious
injury" to downstream interests
in the United States, the Inter
national Joint Commission was
told Tuesday.
Chairman Len Jordan of the
IJC's U.S. section said the Can
nadian plan to divert the Koote
nay River into the Columbia and
the Columbia into the F r a s e r
would jeopardize U.S. investments
in power plants south of the bor
der. Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton,
chairman of the Commission's Ca
nadian section, proposed the di
version last spring as part of a
plan to develop power in British
Columbia's Fraser River Valley.
Jordan in a statement read at
the semi-annual IJC meeting said
the U.S. has about Hi billion dol
lars tied up in existing power
plants in the Columbia River Ba
sin, has another billion dollars in
plants under construction, and has
plans to build an estimated two
billion dollars in plants in the next
decade.
'All of these projects were plan
ned and all of the funds are com
mitted in anticipation that the wa
ters of these international rivers
would not be utilized by Canada
in such a way as to jeopardize
downstream intersts," Jordan de
clared. Jordan said the U.S. disagrees
with "numerous statements" made
by McNaughton in a speech to the
Commons Foreign Affairs Com
mittee last June outlining his di
version plan.

Spun Process texture cells are
'completely sealed off.
Unseated texture cells permit
drying air to pais through.
Here's why SUNBEAM Spun Bread is
so much better than ordinary bread!
In the magnified illustrations of slices at the tight,
notice how the texture spirals through the Spun
slice, "A". This lengthens the distance any air must
travel to pass from one side of the slice to the other.
Actually, Davidson's exclusive Spun Process tight
ens the cells and any air pockets not entirely
squeezed out are sealed off in the tender golden
crust. Thus, Spun slice "A" is actually made air-tight
to stay fresh longer. And this means better flavor.
The Spun Process also assures perfect texture.
In ordinary bread, slice "B", texture runs directly
through the slice. Air passes easily from one side to
the other, quickly drying the bread and spoiling
the flavor.
